Navarro, with over 3.5 million Instagram followers, is reportedly romantically linked to TdA leader Ni\u00f1o Guerrero and has been accused of aiding his prison escape in 2012 and laundering money for the gang through her international DJ performances.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions also target an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >entertainment network connected<\/a> to TdA,including Navarro&#8217;s associates and several businesses she owns or controls.
